NAD Electronics M17 V1 AV Processor I don’t think the M17 needs an introduction. This is a phenomenal processor that produces amazing sound. I had this in a 2 channel setup paired with a PS Audio power amp (also listed) with great results. This is a V1 but fully upgrade able via NADs MDC tech. I’ve done this with my M15 by changing the sound and video card to bring it up to modern spec with Dirac. (keeping the M15 over this as it was gifted to me by my father). Comes with original remote, micro remote, BluOS dongle and NAD USB stick. grab a bargain while you can as this add will on
This A$2,000 asking price is a strong deal, sitting well below the 25th percentile of A$223 for comparable NAD M17 V1 listings in our database, making it an excellent bargain for a processor that originally retailed around A$7,500. The M17 V1 is a well-regarded flagship from NAD’s 2014 Masters Series, prized for its robust analog and digital processing, high-quality touch-screen interface, and premium metal build, even though it lacks the Dolby Atmos and 4K UHD support added in the later V2.
Because this price is so far below market median, the listing represents a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking top-tier pre-pro performance without the V2’s premium cost. The V1 still handles every legacy and modern sound format except the newest immersive codecs, making it a versatile hub for high-end home theater. With no material caveats flagged at this price and unknown condition, the upside lies in its rarity as a clean, original-owner unit from a revered generation before Atmos became standard.

NAD Electronics was founded in 1972 in London by a group of European audio importers frustrated with the hype surrounding Japanese hi-fi products. Led by visionary American executive Martin L. Borish and brilliant engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, the company emerged from a quest to deliver high-performance audio at accessible prices. Their breakthrough came with the NAD 3020 integrated amplifier, the best-selling hi-fi amp in history, which embodied a philosophy of stripping away non-essentials to prioritize pure sound quality.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in amplifiers—pioneering Class A/B, Class G, and hybrid digital designs—alongside integrated receivers, AV processors, turntables, CD and cassette players, and modern streamers. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, NAD emphasizes source components and amplification that integrate seamlessly into home theater and custom installation setups, always upholding principles of innovation, simplicity, performance, and value.
Today, as part of Canada's Lenbrook Group and sold in over 80 countries, NAD holds a commanding mid-tier position in the market, revered by audiophiles for affordable excellence rather than ultra-high-end excess. Its "Truth in Power" legacy earns cult status among knowledgeable buyers seeking reliable, award-winning gear that punches above its price, blending vintage heritage with contemporary streaming and hybrid tech.
